This book is sooo good but SO infuriating! It's always a good sign though when an author can evolve strong emotions, and Jackson definitely achieved that here. It's been a long time since I've raged at a character the way I did at Jules. Loved this, and I'm even curious about Carrie now (no mean feat given my general King mehness).

Moderate: Suicide

Although it is based on Carrie and has a racism theme. Racism is not the only new aspect of the story it brings. Recommend the audiobook version!
